PAID A DEBT OF HONOR.


tory OF the Country
New HAVEN, Conn, NAV THE Register
prints a remarkable story of financial
integrity which stands without a parallel in
the commercial history of the country The
names of the principals are withheld, but the
eminent reSpectability of counsel-Judge l.
B. Morris, Is sufficient guarantee OF its trath
fulneSS.
The Register says at the beginning of the
war wealthy southern merchant who had
but recently taken his hookkeeper into part
nership, fearing that his property would he
contiscated, decided TO remove north His
establishment was valued at S400 900 and he,
authorized his partner to do as he Thought
best, relying his honor for settlement
He has since resided in New Haven About
six years ago, having heard nothing from his
partner in the meantime. he placed the mat
ter in Judge Morris hands The bookkeep4r
after some inquiry was located, and expressed
desire to return the full amount He made
out a statement showing that his indehttsl-
ness then amounted to $4,000, and asked for
time to make full restitution Since then he
has been remtting different amounts until
last week the last cent was paid The money
could not have been collected by procee, of
law and the whole debt was simply one Of
honor. None Of the parties wish to have
their names used and Judge Morris declines
10 give further details, hui it is pretty well
known that ms client is New Haven mill

DECIDED A NOVEL CASE.
THE STATE OF MARYL AND SETS UP
AGAINST THE NATION,

And the Judge Fines Her Sovereignty
@3,O00-The Chicago Doodle Case Devel-
ops n Startling Proposition of Interest to
the Anarchists-The Frisco Railway and
Its Transfer Books.
BALTIMORE. Md, May Judge Morris, of
the United States court rendered his decision
Friday in the case of the United States against
certain steamers of the Maryland oyster navy
The state sets forth that the vessels named, or
any other vessels belonging to the oyster
navy, We're the exclusive property of the state
of Maryland for use of the fishery force AMI
navigating Chesapeake hay within the limits
of the state AMI nowhere else, and that upon
these grounds the states officers had refused
to submit to the inspection of their huls and
boilers by the federal government
The court decided that under the exclusive
power of congress to regulate commerce on
any of the navigable waters of the
United States Gncluding the Chesapeake
bay whereon the oyster navy Piled that
case fell under the statute providing for the
inspection of all steam vessels. 1t would I've
very proper for congress to exempt from such
inspection the vessels of a sovereign state, but
it was not in the province Of the court to 50
constrle the laws. As TO the contention that
| the vessels, being the property of a sovereign
state, were not liable seizure, it was held that
the federal power WAS supreme, and that the
| doctrine contended for was not analogous
with the doctrine which exempted their seizure
| at the instance Of private persons. The regII-
| lation regarding inspection was as much in
| the interest of the safety of persons on other
boats as for the safety of those on board the
vessels themselves, and although it might I've
| presumed the state would see that the proper
| inspection was made such inspection was not
a compliance with the law The state Is fined
| 5000 Tor the violation Of the law
